My Top 10 Favorite Foods
foodnavigator.com

My world completely revolved around food. From the moment I wake up to the time I go to bed, I'm thinking about food. Some days I make everything I eat and I pretend to be a master chef for the day. Other days, I eat junk food and bowls of cereal all day. Either way, food is a cure for any of my good or day days. Throughout my life, I've had a lot of incredible meals, many of them prepared by my family. Food is a positive and comforting aspect of my every day life. Here are my top 10 favorite foods.

1. Spaghetti

It was one of the most common meals I had growing up. My parents would always make corn and Texas Toast along with the spaghetti. Eating spaghetti is a huge comfort food for me and reminds me of all my years growing up. It's super easy to make, and everything you need to make it is super cheap.

2. Kiwi

It's my favorite fruit because it was very rare that I ever got to have it in my house. Whenever I would go grocery shopping with my Dad as a child, he would always buy me a huge bag of them if I was on a streak of making good choices. He would help me pick them out. This was one of the many times my Dad taught me about fruit and when different fruits would be ripe. Anytime I eat a kiwi I'm reminded of these great memories with my Dad.

3. Toaster Strudels

It was a very rare occasion that I ever had these as a kid. Now that I'm an adult, I completely understand why my mother refused to buy them. They are packed full of processed fats and ingredients I can't even pronounce. Toaster Strudels are completely horrible for your body, but I still occasionally enjoy a few of the strawberry flavored ones.

4. Cheesy Broccoli

I love broccoli, and I love cheese even more. Put the two together and its one of the best snacks out there. Any time I'm at a restaurant and I have the opportunity to get cheesy broccoli as a side choice, I definitely do. This snack is better for you than eating a toaster strudel thought!

5. Pizza

It's one of my biggest weaknesses, and with the technologically advanced world we live in, it's easy to get pizza from a handful of places with the tap of an app. There are an unlimited combination of toppings you can get on a pizza. That's why I love pizza so much because you can get something different every time you order one from your favorite pizza joint.

6. Chicken Nuggets

The best ones, in my opinion, are from McDonalds. My many years in high school working at one of the chain's restaurants, however, deters me away from any cravings I have for these tasty little chunks of processed chicken.

7. Waffles

I just recently bought a waffle maker for my apartment, so I'm able to enjoy them any day and for any meal. I personally like to make them from scratch, or a pre-made mix that you add eggs and oil to. The fluffy texture, along with butter and lots of syrup, make it the best comfort food there could possibly ever be.

8. Mashed Potatoes

My dad makes some of the best mashed potatoes on the planet. I know its just potatoes with milk and butter, but my dad makes this perfectly. I try to replicate his recipe but I fail every time.

9. Egg Rolls

Rolls filled with chicken are my absolute favorite. My favorite part is the crunchy texture of the wrap after the roll has been fried. If I have any sweet chili sauce in my house, I always use that for my dipping sauce.

10. Chicken

You can transform this one ingredient into a million different things. You can make BBQ wings, or make a grilled chicken sandwich with lettuce and mayo. The possibilities to make something delicious are endless when you have chicken.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?
